DEAR Mr. CHESTER.
In regard to your Cure, I can say that
/ think it an excellent preparation. |
have used it and have come much in
contact with its use. The best estimate
OF its intrinsic worth is to be drawn
from the fact that the sales increase
steadily with little or no advertising
One person recommends it to another,
and it's sale is based, in my opinion,
more upon its worth as remedy than
upon the results of public advertising
done in the past Yours truly,
